Not many vegetables are as divisive as Brussels sprouts. Whether you love them (like we do!) or hate them from visions of your over-boiled childhood trauma, we believe they deserve to be looked at in new and exciting ways.

So why are the humble Brussels sprouts worth a second look, you ask? Because they are one of the world’s healthiest foods! (See, Mom was onto something after all).

With a flavor that’s similar to cabbage, but as robust as kale, there are all sorts of ways that Brussels sprouts can be prepared. Sliced raw in salads, sautéed, roasted or even grilled, the methods that you use to cook these little nutritional powerhouses can change the flavor dramatically.

Or you can peel them, cover with salt and oil and bake them into crunchy petals that are not unlike kale chips. You can take a plain approach and steam them if you wish, but over-boiling is definitely not okay!
